Modification principle and process of modified bitumen

Bitumen is a polymer mixture composed of asphaltene, colloid, aromatic hydrocarbons and saturated hydrocarbons. Asphaltene is dispersed in aromatic hydrocarbons and saturated hydrocarbons with the help of colloid to form a colloidal structure. When the asphaltene content is low, the bitumen has good adhesion, plasticity and fluidity, but poor temperature stability and elasticity
Bitumen modification principle:
Bitumen is a polymer mixture composed of asphaltene, colloid, aromatic hydrocarbons and saturated hydrocarbons. Asphaltene is dispersed in aromatic hydrocarbons and saturated hydrocarbons with the help of colloid to form a colloidal structure. When the asphaltene content is low, the bitumen has good adhesion, plasticity and fluidity, but poor temperature stability and elasticity. The polymer modifier is similar to the asphaltene in bitumen. Its addition, after fully swelling with bitumen, absorbs the aromatic hydrocarbons and colloid in bitumen to form a new colloid, which not only retains or increases the adhesion, plasticity and fluidity of the original bitumen, but also improves the temperature stability and elasticity of bitumen, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the road performance of bitumen.
Bitumen modification process:
The modifier and additive are evenly and finely dispersed into the matrix bitumen, and the contact area between the original bitumen and the modifier is increased as much as possible to ensure full swelling and development, which not only improves the utilization rate of the modifier but also makes the original bitumen performance the most perfect improvement.
The modified bitumen complete production equipment has the following advantages:
1. It is suitable for a variety of modifiers, such as SBS, EVA, PE, etc.;
2. The ratio of modifier to bitumen can be set at any time according to user needs;
3. The production volume of each cycle can be set arbitrarily within the maximum productivity;
4. The modified bitumen has high quality, and the modifier has a small particle size and uniform distribution after emulsification;
5. The production process is fully automatically controlled, and the production records can be queried at any time;
6. The weighing system is accurate in measurement, and the weighing error is less than 1%;

    For road construction machinery, the following is mainly about the asphalt mixer in road construction machinery equipment. Because it is the key product of Wuxi road construction machinery manufacturers, it is necessary to carry out comprehensive training and mastery, so as to ensure meticulousness and practicality, and not ignore any knowledge points.
    1. In road construction machinery, is there any difference between asphalt mixing equipment and asphalt concrete mixing equipment?
    The answer given by Sinoroader Group manufacturer to this question is no, that is, there is no difference between asphalt mixing equipment and asphalt concrete mixing equipment. They refer to the same type of equipment, but they are different in name. It can be said that they are two names for the same type of equipment, and there is no difference in essence.
    2. During the operation of the asphalt mixer, there is a sound in the mixing pot. What’s the matter?
    In the view of Sinoroader Group, there are two answers to this question. One is that the mixer arm on the asphalt mixer is not good or damaged. The second is that the wear-resistant lining in the mixer is damaged, which leads to this problem.
    3. What are the dust removal devices in the asphalt mixing equipment?
    In the asphalt mixing equipment, for its dust removal device, Sinoroader Group believes that the key is to use the dry ash removal method, because it can facilitate the collection of raw materials. In terms of its dust removal equipment type, there are filter dust removal equipment, centrifugal fan dust removal equipment and force dust removal equipment, etc., which can all be used well.
    For the asphalt mixer and asphalt mixing equipment in road construction machinery, I believe that through the practical discussion of the above relevant content, everyone can master it well and master it, so that in practice, they can have new gains and benefit a lot from it.

    The drive unit is one of the important components of the asphalt mixing plant, so whether it can be reliably operated must be highly valued to avoid adverse effects on the entire asphalt mixing plant. In order to ensure that the drive unit in the asphalt mixing plant is indeed complete and reliable, the following maintenance measures are essential.
    The first thing to pay attention to is the universal rotating part of the drive unit of the asphalt mixing plant. This part has always been a fault-prone part. In order to reduce the occurrence of faults, grease should be added on time, and the wear should be checked frequently, and repaired and replaced in time. Users should also prepare the universal shaft assembly to avoid affecting the working process of the entire asphalt mixer.
    Secondly, the cleanliness of the hydraulic oil used in the asphalt mixing plant must be ensured. After all, the working environment of the equipment is relatively harsh, so it is necessary to prevent sewage and mud from entering the hydraulic system. The hydraulic oil should also be replaced regularly according to the requirements of the manual. Once water or mud is found mixed in the hydraulic oil during inspection, the hydraulic system should be stopped immediately to clean the hydraulic system and replace the hydraulic oil.
    Since there is a hydraulic system, of course, a matching cooling device is also required, which is also an important focus in the drive system of the asphalt mixing plant. To ensure that its function can be fully exerted, on the one hand, the hydraulic oil radiator should be cleaned regularly to prevent the radiator from being blocked by cement; on the other hand, the radiator electric fan should be checked to see if it is running normally to prevent the hydraulic oil temperature from exceeding the standard.
    In general, as long as the hydraulic oil of the asphalt mixing plant drive device is kept clean, there are generally few faults; but the service life varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, so pay attention to its alkalinity observation and replace it in real time.

    Asphalt concrete, as the name implies, is a composite material formed by combining asphalt and concrete. Its main components usually include three categories, aggregate, filler and asphalt. Aggregate, as the basic skeleton of asphalt concrete, is mainly composed of crushed stones of different sizes. These crushed stones are carefully selected and proportioned to ensure the strength and stability of asphalt concrete. Filler usually refers to fine-grained materials such as stone powder, which are filled between crushed stones to increase density and improve overall strength. Asphalt is a binder that can tightly bond aggregate and filler together to form a solid whole. In the process of producing asphalt concrete, the proportion of various raw materials will be adjusted according to different formulas. These formulas are usually formulated according to the specific requirements of the road and the use environment to ensure that asphalt concrete can meet various complex road conditions. The place where this composite material is produced is a special asphalt mixing plant. This is an asphalt concrete mixing plant. The large trucks that we see every day to transport asphalt concrete come out from here. In the asphalt mixing plant, the entire production process is finely divided into multiple steps.
    First, workers use loaders to deliver aggregates into cold silos. Cold silos are usually divided into several different chambers according to the size of aggregate particles, and each chamber corresponds to aggregates of different specifications. In this way, in the subsequent mixing process, the proportion of various aggregates can be accurately adjusted according to customer needs.
    Next, these aggregates will be sent to the drying drum through a vibrating feeder and a belt conveyor. In the drying drum, the aggregates will be heated to a specified temperature by the high-temperature heat source provided by the burner. During this process, the spiral blades and sheep feed plates inside the drum will ensure that the aggregates are fully heated during rotation and remove the moisture in them. In this way, not only can the bonding strength between aggregates and asphalt be improved, but also the stability and durability of asphalt concrete after paving can be ensured.

    The materials used in asphalt mixtures contain a lot of dust. When the equipment is operating, if the dust enters the atmosphere, it will cause pollution. Therefore, dust removal equipment must be installed, and now bag dust removal is the main method. Safety is a common sense issue. There are well-established standard safety rules.
    Do not clean, oil or adjust any mechanical equipment that is not specifically explained during operation; turn off the power and lock it before inspection or repair activities to prepare for accidents. Because each situation has its own particularity. Therefore, be vigilant about safety damage issues, incorrect operation issues and other deficiencies. All of them may lead to accidents, personal injuries, reduced production efficiency, and more importantly, loss of life. Careful and early prevention is the best way to avoid accidents.
    Careful and correct maintenance can make the equipment work more efficiently and control it within a certain level of pollution; the maintenance of each component should be carried out according to its operating standards; maintenance plans and safe operation procedures should be formulated according to the inspection and repair conditions that must be carried out.
    Take out a work log to record all inspection and repair conditions, list the analysis of each inspection of each component and the description of the repair content or the date of the repair; the second step is to give the inspection cycle for each component, which should be determined according to the service life and wear condition of each component.
